Ch-62

062Fredrick’s POV I slammed the car door shut, once I had gotten out of the vehicle. The hot sun blistered in the sky, and I slipped on my shades. They were as dark as night and blocked out the sun quite well, but it didn't stop me staring or seeing what stood in front of me; the police station. If you asked me a couple of weeks back of I thought the police were doing their job, I would have given a resounding yes. Not only that, I'm sure I would have ahead to publicly praise them, and offer a little token as a sign of support for their services to the populace. But now, if you asked me that very same question, my first instinct would to be hurt whoever had the guts to come up with that question. I would hurt him or her first, before going ahead to bash the police. Everything was messed up and the fact that they weren't doing any to make it anyess problematic irked me to my bones. I hadn't wanted to come here in the first place,but all I had to do was think of Alora and Laura

Ch-63

063Alora's POV I'd been freaking out since the news reached my ears. In fact, freaking out couldn't even begin to describe how I felt at the moment. I was panicking, fidgeting and every other word that could be used to describe unease could be well and easily related to me right now, and it still wouldn't be accurate. Shit. I was bad luck. Cursed even, because that was the only way to justify why I was constantly jumping into one problem or the other and especially when I least expected it too. It was already mentally draining that I was in this hell hole called a jail, and to make it all the more worse, I'd been paired up with the worst people. I honestly thought I had time before the hearing but I couldn't be more wrong. “Weren't you informed?” My mind trailed back to me and brownies conversation. “It's all over the place. The huge hudinewoman who has a side hustle of pushing drugs by the side.” My stomach churned. Was that what they really thought of me? It was one thi

Ch-64

064Alora's POV I couldn't believe my eyes, nor my ears. I had heard situations where people suddenly got rooted to their spots. I wouldn't exactly say it had happened to me, but I had seen it happen to people I was close to, so I believed it. I just didn't totally believe that it would happen to me, and at this point in my life too. Fuck..That was the only word my mind could come up with. I had no way to check, but I could bet my life that the inside of my brain responsible for coming up with words and sentences were all frazzled up. I parted my mouth to speak, but no words came out. I was sure that if someone took a picture of me right now, I would look like nothing short of a deer caught in headlights. It was that bad, but that wasn't the worst part. He hadn't recognized me yet, and I was this close to blanking out, what was I going to do then if I had to get into a conversation with him? A shiver ran down my spine as I caught sight of him one more time. When I'd first w

Ch-65

065Alora's POV It was official. Life just loved fucking me over. If I was being honest, I wasn't sure I'd put too much thought into how much time and details had been put in place when it came to planning someone's life. I always believe whatever happened was usually up to fate, but at the same time, I never really sat down to think about how fate actually planned stuff. However, I was convinced that if she was out to ruin your life,then she would do so in ways you never even expected. Take me for example. I had been panicking about how my first hearing was going to go. Before that, they'd shifted the date of the hearing to an earlier time, giving me little to no grace to prepare or whatsoever. Not like I had a choice, but I took it in good faith. There was also the part where I hadn't heard from Laura or even Fredrick yet, but i kept my hopes up, just to do what? Bump into freaking Ethan. And now, I was barely recovering from the threat he'd just carelessly thrown at my fe

Ch-66

066Alora's POV Apparently, I hadn't only surprised myself, but the entire courtroom too. Call me crazy or whatever but I could swear I heard the judge gasp. Even the man who was standing in front of me wasn't left out. His eyes were wide, his lips pulled together to pull a small O shape. For the next couple of seconds, no one said anything and it led me to think that maybe, somehow the world had stopped. “Impossible.” Ethan was the first to break the silence. I wasn't ordinarily a violent person, but right now, I wouldn't mind hurling one of my boots into his face. “Utterly impossible.” For some strange reason, I guess Ethan's voice was what the rest of the court had been anticipating. The moment the last word slid past his lips, the entire room went into an uproar. Men and women barked, and with the rage burning in their eyes, I wouldn't put it past them to hurt me if they got the chance. “Silence!” The judge slammed the gavel as hard as he could against his desk and just

Ch-67

067Alora's POV Honest to God, the only word that could properly describe how my life was going, had to simply be a joke. A sick and twisted joke aimed to make everyone around me laugh except me. While I had to grunt my teeth in pain and go through everything without a little bit of anesthesia, whoever was involved in my ill luck was probably laughing their asses off at my misfortune. Ethan included. It was funny really, I agreed but at this point, I liked to think they were pushing it too far. I was hanging on to my sanity by a tiny thread and honestly, I wasn't exactly sure how much I could hold on to before I snapped into half. Radio silence settled in the court room and for a moment, I really thought the only thing that could be heard was the rapid thump of my heart against my chest. Right now, I was this close to a heart attack and at this point I was sure no one would blame me if it happened. I had gone through a lot and was still going through it. When Laura had assur

Ch-68

068Alora's POV I'd never been more grateful for a lunch break right now than in my entire life. Technically, it was recess as Laura and the judge had said, but I didn't care. I would take anything it took to get me out of that box. The next thing on my list right now, was to get out of here and never set my eyes on a court room ever again. So help me God. “Are you okay, Alora?” It was Laura. I had my eyes closed, but one nudge from her was all it took for me to turn in her direction. When I didn't say anything, she added. “I got you something.” “Oh.” My stomach growled as loudly as it could, even without seeing what she had bought and that's when I knew I was completely finished. Since I'd gotten here, I hadn't eaten a proper meal. Yes, they served us breakfast, lunch and dinner, but it was always to yucky for me to eat. Since I wasn't sure I could stomach that kind of things I always passed it down to my roomies. I bit back the smile that made its way to my lips at the li

Ch-69

069Alora's POV. I hated the fact that he always got the last say. Not only did it irk me, it sometimes made me feel like maybe, just maybe he wasn't ever going to pay for what he did to me back then . There was every tendency that what he did back then would ever be brought to life, but winning this could just be the win I had no idea I needed. “I just hate it when he's so smug.” I hissed, even after he had walked away from us. “I hate it so so much.” “I feel like I'm missing something” Laura added. “How do you know the biggest jerk in the world of the law?” “It's a long story.” I waved her off with a hand. Truly, Ethan didn't mean Jack shit to me, but there was just something he said that didn't sit right with me. “Um, Laura, I have a question.”“We are making progress, right?” Somehow, the strange expression that made its way to Laura's face after my question isn't what I'm expecting. “The judge is probably going to say something in our favour when we get back, right?” “Actua

Ch-70

070Eliaz's POV It's been two days since Laura's visit and simultaneously two days since I had a good night's rest. No matter how hard I tried to shake it off and classify her visit as something meaningless, it just didn't work out for me. Time and time again, I found my mind wandering back to that day in the office. In fact, I wasn't exactly sure which was more shocking, her audacity, or the message she had come to pass across. I want you to testify in Alora's favour in court in the next two days. Her voice echoed in my ears. With the unhealthy number of times my brain had replayed her voice on its own, I hated to see that I could recognize her voice anywhere now, even in my sleep and I didn't like it one bit. I wish she had never walked into my office. Laura didn't just have the guts to stand up against me, she made look like a fool while doing it too. I hadn't put much thought into dealing with her yet, but now, I guess I was just going to have to consider it. Whether

Ch-71

071Alora's POV I was still having a hard time grasping it all and it might sound like an exaggeration, but I honestly didn't see that happening anytime soon. It had been close to an hour since the verdict had been given, but if you asked me, I would absentmindedly say it just happened a couple of moments ago. The only thing that would easily dispute my claim though, was the fact that the courthouse was now empty and stripped bare, except for the few people thst still hung back, myself included. I was currently waiting for Laura and Fredrick. In their words, they needed to finalize something with the court so as to not have any problems moving forward. Thanks to them, I also learned that the judge had been extremely favourable to us. Usually and according to practice, failure to bring your evidence was a risky thing to do. Yes, people did it, but the success rate after that, was usually very low and you had no one else to blame but yourself. Over the past weeks, I haven't rea
